Meet Trish
Trish Stukbauer was pretty much born with a pencil in her hand, but thankfully for those of us who have to read her handwriting, she has long since switched to keyboards. Originally from Pittsburgh, PA, this northern transplant has called Lake Norman (just north of Charlotte, NC) home for the past two decades.
The recovering journalist is the former editor of 9 homebuilding, real estate (and car!) magazines, managing editor of an international business magazine, and a newspaper industry veteran. As a marketing strategist, she thrives on working with a diverse client base and creatively capturing the stories they need to tell. She holds Certified Nonprofit Executive, Certified Development Executive and Certified Nonprofit Consultant credentials from the National Association of Nonprofit Organizations and Executives. This unique blend of marketing and fundraising experience and a passion for nonprofits makes her and her firm uniquely suited to serve the needs of this evolving sector.
The author and editor has her name on 4 books, and has ghostwritten many more. She is creative partner in REDDjobb Communications.
In her spare time, Trish loves spending time with family and friends and helping causes that are near and dear to her heart - especially children and veterans.
